I've been trying to read up on this stuff, and I think I've got a small
clue, now... putting it extremely simplistically, is the following
basically correct?
ALA usually ends up as E2 "not really good for Dianne" prostaglandins
GLA usually ends up as E1 "much better for Dianne" prostaglandins
omega-3, fish oil style, aids the production of these
Meaning I should minimize as much as possible, dietary sources of ALA,
include some of GLA, and definitely not only get my fish oil and fish, but
probably work to get better omega-6/omega-3 ratios?
Also, I've noticed most "good" sources for monosaturated fats (olive oil,
walnuts) are high in omega-6... does this pose a problem in the over all
equation (as in do I need to try to balance out them as well?)
Or have I just read too many PR articles for the various LAs?
